Smartwatches are the trend of the moment, with shoppers flocking to the stores to get their hands on clever tech for their wrists. And they have plenty to choose from, with Apple, Samsung and Fitbit all bringing out some fantastic options.

Whether you are looking to get fitter with your fashion in 2019, or just upgrading your wrist game, we have scoured the internet to find the best smartwatch deals around.

We seriously like most of these options, so it is down to your own personal taste - but they can boost your style with ease.

Check them out below...

Apple Watch 4

Apple

The biggest upgrade from last year's model will let you do a live ECG to check the state of your heart using the haptic sensor, which is a weird but quite cool new feature.

It remains to be seen how useful this party trick will ultimately be, but it is a nice thought that Apple has the health of your heart in mind with its latest tech products.

Though they certainly should be thinking about our health considering the price we have to pay for it.

As mentioned, health is the main focus for Apple this year, having brought in a number of features to monitor fitness and even the current status of your heart.

Apple Watches can now detect and highlight irregularities in your heart-rate, such as prolonged, elevated beating when resting.

Placing your finger on the crown will close the circuit and lets you understand the complete health of your heart.

A new, bizarre feature will also notice if you fall down, prepping a notification message to send to local emergency services with your current location. You can cancel the message if it's a false alarm, but the new feature is a nice afterthought from the developers.

Fitbit

The Fitbit Versa does everything that the big boys can do, but has the added bonus of complete workouts available on the screen. These will be personalised to you and you can adapt and change them to suit your goals.

The battery will last a good four days of usage and it can connect to your smartphone, so you can get text and call alerts while you workout.

Design-wise, the Versa looks pretty clean and sharp, though it does look similar to the Apple and Samsung watches.
